For the record.

Managing 2.1 miles in 30 minutes isn't anywhere near a personal best, and after some weeks of the elliptical and of not trying for more than 1.75 miles in 30 minutes, it's something I think is decent. It's a nice reminder that I'm still capable.

Less pleasant is that for a few days, I've somehow gotten this weird cut on the inside of my nose, way in the back. I'll wake up with dried blood crusted in my nostril or blow my nose in the morning and there's flecks of blood. If this is a side effect of something I was prescribed to deal with the ear canal blockages, I'm going to be both astonished at the synergy of the whole tube system and annoyed I'm going to have to schedule another appointment with the ENT to try something else.

If you've been given anything that dries up the eustachian tubes, then yes, it's a common side-effect of that medication. You can use a saline spray or a sesame oil spray to relieve the dryness that's causing the bleeding.
